The Dick Van Dyke Show is a sit-com about the life of Rob Petrie, played by Dick Van Dyke. Petrie is the head writer of fictional The Alan Brady Show.
...
The program revolves around the behind-the-scenes interactions between Rob, his co-writers Buddy and Sally, the show's producer Mel, and the star Alan Brady (played by the show's creator Carl Reiner). Also shown in the program are the interactions between Rob, his wife, his son, and neighbors in their suburban New York neighborhood.
This program was created, written, and produced by Carl Reiner who played Alan Brady. It originally aired on CBS from October 1961 to June 1966 and ran for five seasons with 158 episodes. It was filmed in black-and-white in front of a live studio audience, with the exception of a few episodes. The plots of the show were thought to be inspired by Reiner's experience as a writer for Your Show of Shows, a 50s NBC variety show.
Although the show is well known today, The Dick Van Dyke Show was not a hit during its first season. It rated poorly compared to NBC's Bachelor Father and NBC's Laramie. CBS was forced to cancel the show, but was stopped by the show's sponsor, Procter & Gamble. They forced CBS to move the program from the Tuesday 8:30 slot to Wednesdays at 9:30. This move proved successful for the show's ratings by airing right after the #1 hit The Beverly Hillbillies. Through its new time slot and word of mouth, the show steadily gained more audience viewers and picked up 15 Emmy Awards.
